Never made it to Vogue. Tower on Sunset was my headquarters. With a few stops at the Pizza,Big Bens,and Wherehouse. I had made another post on Vinyl called "Sad...." It just doesn't seem fair that they took all the records away.

My Disneyland days were really a kick. After the post I remembered I also got to meet Doc Severinson,Count Basie,Lional Hampton,and I got paid for doing it. Those years Sonny Anderson booked the talent at Disneyland and every summer we had a big band per week at Plaza Gardens beside the Castle at the end of Main Street. Sonny knew everybody and these guys frankly were not hard to book in the 1968 to 1974 time span. There were not that many places wanting them. I got to start as a talent coordinator when I was 18 and was a stage manager by the time I left in 1977. Between the ages of 18 and 27 I met alot of entertainers. It's the big bands I have the fondest memories of and it was them I appreciated the least when it was happening. Like Joannie Mitchel said....you don't know what you've got till its gone.
